PRODUCT CONSTRUCTION
Conductor: 4 AWG through 1000 kcmil bare copper compact, Class B strand.
Extruded Strand Shield (ESS): Thermoset semi-conducting stress-control layer over conductor.
Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, colored to contrast with black conducting layers.
Extruded Insulation Shield (EIS): Thermoset semi-conducting polymeric layer, free stripping from insulation.
Shield: 5 mil annealed copper tape with a minimum 25% overlap.
Ground: Annealed bare copper Class B stranding per ASTM B8.
Armor: Aluminum Interlocked Armor (AIA)
Jacket: Flame-retardant moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC), yellow.

APPLICATIONS
For use in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors, in exposed or concealed work. May be used in cable trays or on approved support
in protected areas. Permitted for use in Class I; Class II, Division 2; and Class III, Divisions 1 and 2 hazardous locations per the NEC.
Ideal for use in commercial, industrial and utility applications where space is limited and reliability, maximum performance, ease of
installation and fire resistance are important.

FEATURES
Rated at 105C wet or dry. Excellent heat and moisture resistance. Outstanding corona resistance. Flexible for easy handling. High
dielectric strength. Low moisture absorption. Electrically stable under stress. Low dielectric loss. Chemical- and radiation-resistant.
Excellent crush resistance. Cost-effective alternative to installations in conduit. Meets cold bend test at -25C.
